Holding the phone in my hands felt great. The representative told me about its features and all I could say was– Wow! Dell Mini 5 has many similarities as of a smartphone. First of all the phone has multitouch screen to give a royal look and a comfortable experience. It provides 3G connectivity and is easy to operate. The phone also contains 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and not to forget, Google’s Android operating method.
The only thing which I didn’t like much is that it’s quite big for a smartphone. But despite being big it doesn’t weigh much, only 8 ounces. Thus my arms will not be strained while using the phone. Any onlooker may get confused whether you are holding a phone or a compact book. I just wonder that how will I look holding the phone next to my face and that how will I carry it as it may not fit in the pockets of my tight jeans.
Mini 5 is also known as Model M01M. You can spot the model name under the battery cover. The phone is using Android 1.6 operating system. Since a newer version of Android is available in the market, I just hope that the operating system of Mini 5 will be upgraded to Android 2.1 at launch time.
The price tag on the phone stated $1,908 but this was only a dummy model. We can expect the price change by the time of release and also the actual market price would be different.
Some of the on-look features of the phone include:
- • Five inch touch screen display
- • 800*480 resolution
- • 1 Ghz processor
- • Wi-Fi
- • Bluetooth
- • 3G connectivity
- • 5 megapixel camera
- • Dual LED flash
- • Front camera
Even the folks which were present there were quite impressed with the features and efficiency of the phone. The phone looked really attractive and definitely it’s not an iPad. I imagine myself using that phone at home and at work. Without doubt I am going to buy the product if it is competitively priced.
